Recruit to Grow™ - Fixed Fee Recruitment for Construction SMEs
Hire Once. Reduce Escalation. Build A Team You Trust.
Recruit to Grow™ is a fixed‑fee, decision‑first recruitment system for UK-based construction, building services and built‑environment leaders who want hiring to reduce dependency, not create more work.
This is not a recruitment agency. It’s a strategic alternative to traditional recruitment.
Most founders search for recruitment support because they’re overloaded.
But the real problem isn’t a lack of people, it’s that hiring hasn’t reduced escalation or decision‑making pressure. Recruit to Grow™ exists to fix that.

The Real Hiring Problem Most Leaders Face...
Most leaders don’t struggle to find good people.
They struggle because new hires don’t remove dependency.
Even the best hires can still:
> escalate decisions
> avoid real ownership
> pull leaders back into the detail
> increase pressure instead of capacity
That’s rarely a motivation or capability issue.
It’s what happens when roles, decision boundaries, and expectations aren’t designed properly before hiring.
Poor hiring decisions quietly erode:
> trust
> delegation
> people performance
> leadership bandwidth
> team morale
Hiring fails when roles are designed to fill gaps, not remove escalation.
Recruit to Grow™ exists to stop that happening.
What is Recruit to Grow™ ?
Recruit to Grow™ is a decision‑first hiring system built to improve people performance, not a recruitment agency.
It's designed for leaders who want their next hire to:
> take real ownership of outcomes
> make sound decisions under pressure
> operate without constant management
> strengthen the team rather than weaken it
Recruitment only works when the decision architecture is right.
That's what we fix first.
The first decision we help leaders make is whether hiring is actually the right solution at all.
What Makes Recruit to Grow™ Different...

“You don’t scale a business. You build a team that can scale without you.”
Who Is Recruit to Grow™ For?
Recruit to Grow™ is designed primarily for construction, building services and built‑environment leaders - where hiring directly affects delivery, decision‑making, and trust.
Typically:
> owner‑managed or founder‑led businesses
> £1m–£30m+ turnover
> growing teams where too much still comes back to you
Although our authority sits in construction and the built environment. The problem Recruit to Grow™ solves isn’t sector‑specific.
It resonates with SME leaders in other sectors who recognise that:
> poor hiring decisions undermine trust and performance
> escalation increases as businesses scale
> new hires should reduce dependency, not create more of it
